He feels that his recovery is going right on schedule and that he should be able to throw Monday and see game action by the 17th of March. If he does get in to a game on the 17th

Ryan Howard's 9.1 million dollar raise from $900k to $10 mil has been well documented. However, Howard is finding other ways to make ends meet besides his piddling salary. Ryan was the face on the packets of 2007 Topps baseball cards. He's made numerous appearances on Subway commercials with the company's main man Jared. He's the coverboy for the new video game...

The Phillies really screwed up with Adam Eaton. He's in the second year of his 3 year contract worth 24.5 million dollars, and he stinks. Because of his huge contract, Eaton is the front runner for the Phils number 5 spot in the rotation, despite having an ERA of 15.75 in two spring appearances. Now he is using the lame excuse that he has a bad back that has been affecting his...

Why Eva Longoria and I Will Elope to WARP-3 Island

Lohse has since come down from his demands of a multi-year contract, and is currently...

March 06, 2008
In the spirit of past WSBGM's song parodies, I bring to you my rendition of Pearl Jam's Better Man inspired by the uninspiring competition for the 5th spot in the Phillies rotation.

It's the 4th inning, it's got to stop,
Tell him, take no more, Manuel practices his speech
As he approaches the mound, he thinks it over.

Jose Reyes OVERRATED
Recently I got into an argument on a Message Board(Yeah, I know. Why Bother right?) about every Phillies fan most favorite Shortstop Jose Reyes. The argument was basically this random zealot Mets fan claiming that Jose Reyes was "no doubt the best Shortstop in Baseball." After having heard this argument about 2,432 times I decided to actually look at "The most exciting...
